Dolores Boys & Human Adult Band @ Random Tea Room (2012)

Got another Philly show for yous guys. Live at the Random Tea Room,

Dolores Boys:


and, of course, the always great Human Adult Band:

Suicide Magnets, Mirror Men, & Russian Tsarlag @ Pageant Gallery (2012)

The only thing I know for sure I did on my birthday (don't remember the cake I ate or the swordfighting in the dining room) was this show, and because there is footage.


Suicide Magnets:






Mirror Men:






Russian Tsarlag:






...and to those of you that were at the Russian Tsarlag/ Human Adult Band show in New Brunswick on 26 May, don't worry. We'll post that as soon as we're done cutting it together. We had multiple cameras running and a digital audio recorder going. It might take a week or two or three, but it will be posted.

Lady in the Radiator & Banned Books @ The Dork House (2012)

I got to this show late and stopped filming early, so there's only a little bit to post. Really regretting not getting the whole show, but until I get a time machine, here's what I got:

Lady in the Radiator:




Banned Books:

Dry Feet & 3JANE in New Brunswick (2012)

Another Philly band? YES, but this time, in a dark New Brunswick basement. Philly retard rock at its finest.

Dry Feet:



And yet again, always brilliant,


3JANE:

The Winners, Local Teen, & Y/Y @ Dreamcastle (2012)

Once again, at Dreamcastle, this time a few days later on 9 March, 2012, we'll get a little weirder.


The Winners:



Next up, from the makers of King Astro's Trip/Happy Halloween/Good Weather/many others,
Local Teen:




Y/Y:

Mike Bruno, Daniel Bachmann, Wise Blood, & Quilt @ Dreamcastle (2012)

Again, my apologies for taking so long to get these up. These were all recorded at Dreamcastle in South Philly on 3 March, 2012, and all really damn good. There were more people there than I'd seen in a long time. Let's get started.


Mike Bruno and the Black Magic Family Band:



then we move upstairs for
Daniel Bachman:



and back downstairs to the crowded basement for
Wise Blood:



and to finish us off (at least until my battery died),
Quilt:

Human Adult Band record release show!

Again, this took too long to get posted. It's a bit lacking, but Mike will post the rest of the videos when the time is right.

I might as well tell y'all the date of this show. Friday the 13th. As in, Friday, January 13, 2012. First show of the last year. All of this is from The Marvelous!

First up, a shaky (read: hungover as balls) recording of most of the Mike Bruno & The Black Magic Family Band set:



Next up, Wendy and Kyler rule lots of balls as Suicide Magnets:




Well... what can I say?.. fuckin' Dick Neff:



and of course, Human Adult Band (full set coming soon...)

New Year's Eve Eve @ Dreamcastle

Damn, I've been lazy. Should've posted these 2 weeks ago, but hell, better late than never. I'll do the (mostly) full sets first.

Here's a New Brunswick alum, now a Philly resident,
Slow Tongued Beauty:




Next up, we've got 
Jesse Sparhawk:




And to soften the mood a little,
Procrastihontas:




Now for a shredder,
Daniel Bachman:




And the last set of the night,
Bad Braids:




and, why the hell not? one song by Mike Bruno:

Sprites, Scary Poppins & Tony Funfetti @ Dreamcastle (2011)

Part two of Halloween Weekend, this time at Dreamcastle in Philadelphia, Halloween night. Hilarity ensues. Some dudes just don't know how to party.

Sprites:




Scary Poppins:





Tony Funfetti:

Spread Eagle & Veiled @ The Little Bar (2011)

These two sets were recorded on Friday, October 21, 2011 at the Little Bar in Philadelphia.


First up, Spread Eagle out of Baltimore. They felt like a long drive with a hangover. I mean that in a good way. I fucking loved it.




And, although I usually try to avoid posting the same band twice in a row, I couldn't help myself. Here's Veiled again:

The Winners, The Jovontaes, Traits, & Trevor Transylvania (2011)

This was a nice small show behind the Random Tea Room in Philadelphia, PA on October 8, 2011... Starting off, again, with members of The Yets, Jalopy, & Mike Bruno's Black Magic Family Band is The Winners:




Next up was The Jovontaes out of Kentucky:





Then, from Philly, The Traits:




And finally, Trevor Transylvania doing a few songs by the Human Adult Band:


...Just my luck. Battery Died before the Monster Mash.

Jasper Phantom, In Air, Suicide Magnets @ Alfa Gallery (2011)

I don't remember the last time there was a noise show in New Brunswick. We needed this Jasper Phantom set:


In Air's freakout set was fucking awesome:



and Suicide Magnets once again to end the night in a creep-out freak-out:

Suicide Magnets & Good Weather @ Dreamcastle (2011)

For James (of The Yets/Scary Poppins/lots of other bands) birthday party on April 2 at Dreamcastle, there was one hell of a show... unfortunately, my camera was not charged enough to catch all of it, so here's what I've got so far:


Suicide Magnets:


Good Weather:

Mike Bruno & Mattress @ The Raconteur (2011)

March 31, Metuchen, NJ... first off, a stripped down version of Mike Bruno and the Black Magic Family Band:



Also playing that night was Mattress, from New Brunswick:

Pots and Powercells @ Dreamcastle (2011)

Yet another weird jam, featuring members of Human Adult Band, The Brown Christmas, Jalopy, and a bunch of others...




(Recorded March 13, 2011 in Philadelphia... thanks to Mel for filming)

Scary Poppins (2011)

Live @ Dreamcastle in Philadelphia, Scary Poppins is members of The Yets and Mike Bruno's Black Magic Family Band keepin' it creepy...




Recorded on March 13, 2011.

Magnet City Kids (2008)

3 years later and I finally posted it... the whole Magnet City Kids set from the Burrito shop from March 22, 2008; enjoy!

Halloween Fun

Here we have some videos from this past Halloween at Dreamcastle in Philadelphia. It was a spooky evening filled with dark/folk/psych music, ghosts, ghouls, and a sexy robot.

It wouldn't be a Halloween show without Mike Bruno and the Black Magic Family Band. Their eerily dark folkish songs are akin to listening to lullabies f0r demons



Snowbaby lightened up the mood with some mostly acoustic tunes that would be fitting to listen to whilst dancing with sprites through the woods





Haunted Houses played their brand of loosely structured melancholy folk-rockesqe jams




Lastly, Good Weather this is their first filmed set since 2005

Human Adult Band (2010)

I've posted a few Human Adult Band videos, but none from recently. Until now. From a show that also saw Sewn Leather and Narwhalz (of sound) at PILAM in Philadelphia on October 30, 2010, here are a few songs from their set.


(sorry for the blurriness, the camera lens was fucked up.)
